Dr. Lorraine Greenwald

Dr. W. Hubert Keen is pleased to announce that Dr. Lorraine Greenwald has been appointed Dean of the School of Business. Dr. Greenwald's successes as
Acting Dean of the School of Business and as chair of the Department of Computer Systems
demonstrate her ability to be an effective leader for the School of Business.

A member of the Farmingdale State College community since 1998, she has taught courses
in information systems and data communications both in the traditional classroom environment
and via distance learning.

A resident of Centerport, Dr. Greenwald's passion for learning and education brought
her to shift from a career in industry to one in academia. She completed a bachelor
degree in Computer Science and Applied Mathematics at Stony Brook University and over
the next 15 years, accepted increasingly responsible positions in banking, government
and telecommunications. While employed full time, she earned an MBA in International
Business and Finance from Stern's Graduate School of Business in the New York City.

In order to prepare for her career in higher education, Dr. Greenwald earned a second
Master's degree in Operation Research, and continued for her doctorate in Computational
Applied Mathematics at Stony Brook University. Her research applied Simulated Annealing
optimization to the well-known Traveling Salesman Problem and to model gene expression
in the fruit fly Drosphila. Her research employs an interdisciplinary approach which
she favors and is reflected in her accomplishments to date.

Dr. Greenwald has a proven track record in team building and problem solving and is
committed to excellence in teaching, scholarship and service. Possessing a distinctive
blend of experience in both industry and academia, she serves on the Advisory Council
for SBPLI First Robotics, and on the Board of Directors for both the Great Knights
and ExecuLeaders. She is an active member of the National Association of Women Business
Owners (NAWBO) and the Association for Information Technology Professionals (AITP).
